After completion, Tongyuan Hall was donated to the Wubao County People's Government free of charge, and it was converted into a Guoxue Hall, the second floor was the Guoxue Exhibition Hall, the third floor was the Twenty-Four Filial Piety and Wubao Folk Culture Exhibition Hall, the fourth floor was the Guoxue Lecture Hall and had a calligraphy and painting room, the first floor was the catering department, and the fifth, sixth and seventh floors were the accommodation department.
Tongyuantang Guoxue Museum, mainly based on Chinese Sinology, focuses on Confucian orthodox Sinology and traditional health care as the training content, takes the inheritance, study, practice and promotion of Sinology as the purpose, takes the experience of Sinology as the way, abandons the blind "metaphysical" learning method, and allows students to truly practice the wisdom of Sinology in practical experience, and inherit the essence of Traditional Chinese Culture and Sinology.
Zhang Yaoqi's donation speech was at the donation and unveiling ceremony
Today, the Wubao County Party Committee and the county government held a grand donation ceremony here, and at this moment, my mood is very excited, and I am very grateful to all the leaders, guests and fathers and fellow villagers for their attention and support.
I was born in Zhangjiayuan Village, Wubao County, where I spent my childhood and adolescence. This is my roots, the only homeland in my heart. When I was a teenager, I moved to Xi'an with my mother and began a hard time. However, everything about my hometown often comes to my mind, which is also a topic that my mother and I often talk about. I often go back to my hometown to visit relatives and friends, and take my children and wives to walk around the places I know, reminiscing about everything I did when I was a child. It can be said that Zhang Jiayuan and Wu Bao are the deepest concerns in my mother's heart and that every time I return to my hometown, the idea of doing something for my hometown comes to my mind. Unfortunately, it was the busiest period of my life, and this wish has never been realized. My old mother passed away in 2010, and my greatest wish on her deathbed was to be buried in my homeland and sleep with my father. When I returned to my hometown in 2011 to organize a funeral, I saw that the cave where I lived as a child was dilapidated due to its disrepair, and the permanent population of the village was getting smaller and smaller. The death of my mother has brought me infinite sadness, and the scene in front of me has made my heart ache. These cave dwellings, this village, have my longing for my father and mother, as well as many emotions and memories that I cannot let go of. More importantly, it is the best proof of the hard-working and tenacious spirit of generations of Wubao people! So the desire to protect these precious treasures has become more and more intense. Immediately after the funeral, I decided to start preparing for the renovation of my old home. When I talked about this with my friends and relatives, everyone had the same feeling, always feeling that no matter where I went, everything in my hometown was not only unforgettable, but also became clearer as the years went by and as I grew older. I realized that this was not only a personal emotion for me, but also the common wish and voice of every Wanderer from Wubao. After returning to Xi'an, after careful demonstration and planning, it was finally decided to build a historical platform in his hometown that can not only preserve precious emotions and memories for all wandering children who are abroad, but also fully display and inherit the history and humanities of Wubao, and can mark the spirit of hard work of wubao people in that era, so that these precious wealth can be passed on from generation to generation, retained forever, and continuously carried forward. It is for this reason that the Tongyuantang project was officially launched in 2012. After five years, it overcame many practical construction difficulties, obstacles caused by terrain and geological conditions, narrow roads, and large construction equipment could not enter, and could only rely on manpower to transport construction materials to the construction site and use the most traditional ancient construction technology. After many hardships, it was finally completed in 2016, and after more than a year of trial operation, it fully met the conditions for the use of official external reception. The whole process of creativity and construction design has poured out the wisdom and painstaking efforts of many Wubao wanderers. The whole construction process also seems to be another interpretation of the spirit of Wubao. With the tenacity of the Wubao people, all the participants united their will, and finally from this loess lump, they pulled up a special building that not only retains the elements and crafts of traditional cave culture, but also has the function of modern people's life and living, and at the same time can provide local characteristics of food and historical and cultural displays. Looking back at the photos of the construction site recorded during the construction, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. Isn't this the most precious treasure of our Wubao people? Isn't it also the responsibility and responsibility of our generation to pass on and record these things? Therefore, all the hardships and efforts made are worthy of pride and gratification. During the implementation of the project, I also quietly walked through the sixtieth spring and autumn of my life, perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps I had a new understanding of life at the age of Hua Jia.
I remember that Confucius summed up a person's life. He said, "Thirty and standing, forty without confusion, fifty and knowing the destiny, sixty and obedient, seventy and not exceeding the rules of the heart." This means that when people reach the age of seventy, they are more capable and willing to live according to their own inner wishes and do not go beyond the rules, and have reached a state and consciousness of inner peace, harmony and unity. Tongyuantang is like the practice of "from the heart" to me, fulfilling a wish I have made for many years, and it is like a partial continuation of the emotions of my life. It not only pins my infinite thoughts about my parents, but also the deepest feelings and memories in my life, and it also pins on the nostalgia of the wanderer who is just like me to my hometown. It is the root of our life growth, so I am full of love and expectation for it. After the age of sixty, people also have a profound understanding of the nature of life. It became increasingly clear to me that the abilities of individuals are limited, that their lives are limited, and that no one can live forever. However, the spirit and imprint of striving and enterprising generation after generation can last forever. This precious spirit and testimony needs to be passed on and cared for by generations of people. Therefore, in my opinion, donating Tongyuantang to the government free of charge is the best destination for it. Only the government can make Tongyuantang and the precious emotions and spirit it pins on and confirmed be passed on and carried forward from generation to generation, which is also my greatest wish in doing this. Today, just like finding someone worthy of trust for my children, I officially donated Tongyuantang to the Wubao County Government. I firmly believe that the government can treat its own children like it does, making the tomorrow of Tongyuantang a better place! Build your hometown more beautiful and rich!
Finally, once again, I sincerely thank all the leaders for their attention and love for Tongyuantang, thank all the guests and villagers for their support and encouragement, and thank you again!
